Cat is the founder of Chefs for Humanity, an organization dedicated to ending hunger around the world and spreading nutrition education. To raise awareness for the charity, Cat is making chocolate budino, a delicious chocolate dessert similar to a molten cake.

“I love to make my delicious Chocolate Budino for my wife and four boys during the holidays," she said. "There isn't a tastier way to keep warm on a cold winter night! I also enjoy preparing this dish for charity events and dinners, as a way of spreading the warmth during the holiday season."
